I read them so many times in elementary school. Nancy was the coolest. Eleanor and I have read many of the younger Nancy Drew books, like the Clue Crew series but now she is on to the originals. I love it.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-17737375339650080952018-07-02T07:22:54.951-07:002018-07-02T07:22:54.951-07:00Be still my nostalgic heart!

(All that archeological sleuthing was definitely my thing.) Most of the other ones I neither recognize the cover or the title. (I was left with my sister's hand-me-downs for Nancy Drew, my brother's for the Hardy Boys and what I could borrow from the library.) I think my favorite covers from those you've got are The Mystery of the 99 Steps (which does seem vaguely familiar) and The Secret of the Wooden Lady.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067832447156921940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-30219539325473184152017-12-10T03:21:07.469-08:002017-12-10T03:21:07.469-08:00So many of these sound familiar.

My mom used to buy me Nancy Drew books, many with the same covers. I've been going back-and-forth if I should get rid of them or not, but I'm leaning towards keeping them after this post.

And I felt like I was channeling my inner Claudia from The Baby-Sitter's Club (which I am sure you are not exactly familiar with hahah but she was obsessed with Nancy Drew, so as any good fan does, I decided I needed to own a Nancy Drew book too!) Love the idea of secret passageways, too- I always hoped I'd be super rich one day and I could build my own house and instruct the builders to put tons of secrets in it.

My kids' school library was going to throw theirs away so I took them. When I was little, I would go outside and look for clues to mysteries. My parents thought I was crazy. I loved Nancy and her friends because they always were laughing and having fun together. I should reread one or two book sometime. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
